ArtPrize looks to 'tweak' event

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Now that the winner of ArtPrize 2011 has been crowned, officials with the non-profit organization are already planning for next year's event.

They're getting feedback about what was good and what could be improved with an effort "to understand, if we need to make changes, where those changes need to be made," ArtPrize spokesperson Brian Burch told 24 Hour News 8.

"We continually tweak. We experiment with the experiment," he said. "We don't know what those tweaks are going to be, but we have a tendency to make those changes year-to-year."

Their timeline to begin any necessary changes is soon.

"We'll spend November planning and probably jump right into the event or make an announcement on what the event looks like in the next couple months," he said.

ArtPrize runs throughout the city until 6 p.m. Sunday.
